The Israeli military has reportedly advised its soldiers who invaded the Gaza Strip to avoid travelling abroad for fear of arrest in the aftermath of court orders issued by the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, Al Jazeera reports.

The army has identified about 30 cases where complaints were filed or even criminal proceedings were initiated against officers and soldiers who participated in the war on Gaza and were warned against travelling abroad, according to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

At least eight soldiers, who were already abroad in Cyprus, Slovenia and the Netherlands, were told to leave those countries immediately due to risks of arrest.

All soldiers have been reportedly told to delete any documents of their participation in destruction and killings in Gaza from their social media accounts.

According to the report, pro-Palestinian activists have created lists of offending soldiers in order to begin legal proceedings against them in the event they travel abroad.
